The Shaguar and the Tough Old Lady are mended

At last! The Jag is fixed and ready for use... I will be going back to Blighty this weekend to collect it and to bring it back to Belgium - this time with insurance.

I didn't get insurance because I thought it was expensive - Eurotunnel quoted £115 for 2 weeks cover and I extrapolated that figure for 3 months cover and decided it was too expensive...

But I'm getting 1 year's cover from The AA for £85 - oh hindsight is always 20-20 vision... I could have saved myself around £1000 if I had known!

On another positive note; my mother will be discharged from hospital to a nursing home tomorrow - at last. It is incredibly complex to get someone out of hospital once they are in there. I don't know how she will take to the regime of the nursing home - but a change is as good as a rest(home)...
